EDITOR,—It is announced in the Public Journals, I observe, that the celebrated Doctor IVATSON'S next exhibition is to be, not among the " densutuhumeris Vulgus" of Spa-fields, but among thF glittering plendours of a Court Levee. Rumour ascribes to Mr. WATsoN the intention of presenting to the PRINCE REGENT not only the petirion• which has• been co►►signed to his care, hut a copy of TOM PANE splendidly bound. Mr. WATSON is said to have ordered very dashing ap parel for ibis occasion. A "new-scraped carrot," and a butterfly just escaped troll) its chrysalis shell will be but feeble types of his .finery..—lf be content himself with presenting his Petition, and making his how, he is sure to acquire for himself " a pleasant fame and noise." My only fear is, lest be should take it into his head to act the Tragic Hero. Such a degree of vigilance, however, 1 doubt not, will he exercised as to prevent the possibility of such a pet fortuance, or the presentation of the work in question. In plain English, I hope that some Gentleman from Bow-street will be in attendance to take care of the Doctor's Person, and to., prevent any of his Brother Reformers trout despoiling him of part of his finery. Lincoln's-inn, May 10. VATES. THE PRINCE OF [JESSE HOMBOURG. WINCHESTER, MAY 10, 1818.—This morning, about I I o'clock, the Prince of HEssa Homßonao arrived in our city, attended by Beton O.NAGII - an Interpreter, and an -Aid-de-camp, in his travelling carriage and four, from Sourbampron, and alighted at the White Hart .nn, and imme d!ately proceeded to Dr. Nott's reside oce in the Close ; soon after which the Rev. \lr. B roan! waited on his Highness, who went to inspect the curiosities of -our ancient city, accompanied by these Reverend Gentlemen, He went fit st to the Cathedral, which be most minutely inspected. He was much pleased with the improvements making by the suggestions of Dr. Nott, with the altar piece, the Raising of Lazarus, hv \Vest, with the organ, &c. &C. He complimented Dr. Chard, who played several pieces of music in his best manner. He was much struck with the Chapter Room, which has been restored to the sante si n ation in which in all probability it was six or seven centuries ago; it now shows us the sort of room which our great Barons used to occupy. As soon as it was known that his Highness was arrived, Lieut. Colonel Burrell, of the 90th Regi ment, marched a guard of honour to Dr. Nott's, as a twak of respect, but which his Serene High ness declined accepting. When he left the 'Ca thedral, he went to see the new bayonet exercise, in which the 90th -Regiment particularly and was much pleased therewith. He also in spected the barracks, &c. &c. His Serene High ness behaved with the greatest affability and po liteness to the several Gentlemen who were intro duced to him, particularly Lieut.-Coloitel Dunbar and James Gaunt let t, Esq. ; and at three o'clock he set off to Salisbury, intending to dine with the Bishop of Salisbury, at the Episcopal Palace in that city. His Serene Highness is going on a tour into the West of England ; and it is thought that he will nut be in Loudon for upwards of a fort night. GENERAL ELECTION.--A contest for TRINITY COLLEGE iS expected to take place at the ensuing- Election. NE. CROK ER , the new Candidate, has arrived in person on his canvass. Enw.tan HAnnottn, Esq. is mentioned as likely to he a Candidate for the City of Norfolk.— RICHARD Gratsmir, Esq. has announced his in tention to stand for the same place. Letters from Calcutta of the 2501 December state, that on the 26th ult. the head-qoartels ot his Excellent y the Most Noble the GovERNoR• GENETIAL were at Sunkerpore, where the following order was issued t " The Commander in Chief has lively satisfac tion in expressing the sentiment excited in him this morning.„ on his viewing the bridge, and the road leading through the ravine to it. What be examined was to him proof not only of skill and energy, but of a zealous alacrity which he had the highest pleasure in recognizing. His Lordship requests Capt. SWINTON, of the Pioneers, to ac cept for himself, and those under hint respec tively, his acknowledgment of the judgment and activity by which the movements of the Army have thus been so materially facilitated." The marriage of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE was expected to have taken place last Thursday. The Royal Sovereign yacht, under the command of Sir E. OWEN, is appointed to fetch his Royal Highness and his Duchess to England, and drops down the River for that purpose. from Deptford on Tuesday. Thornton, whom our readers will recollect was tried for the murder of Mary Ashford, arrived on Saturday morning last, by the Union coach, in the neighbourhood of Coventy, on his return home ; but wishing to avoid public attention, took a circuitous route across the Park, to Spon end, where he ascended the vehicle in pursuit of his journey. It is a subject highly worthy of mention, inas much as it redounds greatly to the humane feel ing of Lord Viscount I 3 ALMERSTON, to say that so auxj o us was - his Lordship tor the fate of the un fortunate young man, DAVID DAVIS, WllO WaS tried on Friday, at the Old Bailey, for shooting at his Lordship, that he furnished the means for his defence, and stioplied the able assistance of those professional Gentlemen wbo appeared, in his behalf. PO E T R Y. THE NEW MANIA; OR, THE I 00 DAYS ANTICIPATED. Extract of 'a Letter to a Friend abroad, opened at the Pos . Office au suspicion of its containing Treasonable Cor• respondence : * * f * IF * * * It * # Of late, when the Greenland bound ships had set sail, And the shot at Lord Wellington happen'd to A strange dearth of topics began to prevail. No subject was offered to interest fashion, No touching new mania, or whimsical passion: The Beau had exhausted his patterns of dress, And Lord Byron's fourth Canto was still in the press. While the world look'd and languisli'd in silent attention, Sonic clever soul hit on a famous invention— "l'is a tithe wade of brass, pewter, copper, or tin, With a hole at one end of it where you look in, And see—gracious heavens !—you see such a sigh*. Should I try to describe it 'twould take me all night, The exquisite figures and colours you can see NO painter can copy, no poet can fancy, You see—what uu►st all you're before seen surpass, You sec—soave small old broken pieers of glass. Need I tell you indeed that with such preparation, So lovely a bauble has caused a sensation. I doubt whether Bilbognet, monarch of toys, Or the Devil himself ever made such a noise; 'Tis the favourite play-thing, of school-boy and sage, Of the baby in arms and the baby of age, Of the grandam whose sight is at best problematical, And the soph who explains it by rule mathematical, Of the saint who in vain tries to laugh at and mock it, Yet, ten to one, carries a brace in his pocket. All are bit in their turn, from the belles who have borne it I'm told to the Op'ra instead of a lorg'sette. To the cripple who makes them '' so pretty and cheap," And hawks them about at " a penny a inep." Such indeed is the rage for-them, vhapcl or church in You see them about you, and each title urchin Finding a sixpence, with transport beside his hope, Runs to the tin man, and makes a " KALEIDoscorE." ROYA L ACADEMY. - (Continued,] 110. The Errand Boy. D. WILKIE, R. A. The extraordinary talents of Air. \VILKIE raised him at once- into reputation, and it is highly to the ,honour of the Royal Academy that it rapidly conferred on him its distinctions. His mechanical skill entitles him to admiration, but it is to be regretted that that skill is not always employed on subjects of adequate interest. The naive expression of the boy, and of the women, display a strong observation of life, but the incident is of no importance, and it is difficult to ascertain the mean ing and object in view. Such, however, as the subject is, it is treated admirably. - • 111. Sleeping Cupid. B. WEST, P. R. A. 'This we conceive to be another former work of the Master. •It is chiefly marked by a rich colouring, which has probably received some recent touches. It is interesting to compare these lighter works with the sublime and awful compositions of the same master, as well as..to observe the increased vigour of his powers, and the expansion of his genius, in a green old age. 21. Portrait of F. L.Chantrey, Esq. R.A. T. PHIL tdrs, R.A. There is a gratification of no inferior kind in seeing the talents of one eminent Artist employed in paying due respect to those of another, and this pleasure arises front the work before us, which is an animated portrait of Mr. Cu TREY, who, like Mr. W. LKIE, raised himself per s•altum into cele brity, and, as in the instance of that excellent Artist, afforded a new proof of the taste and justice of the Royal Academy, by an early attainment of its honours. 32. Portrait of Archibald William Lord Montgomerie. H. nAEBURN, R. A. A very masterly work, that would have done credit to any Artist of any time. The colouring chaste and clear; the head well placed. If the expression of the countenance, and the energy of character, which the portrait displays, are not the creatioi of the Artist, the original must possess no or dinary ;hare of intelligence, judgment, and sagacity. 33. Portrait at Mr. Coatis. Sir W.BEEZ:HEY R.A. The Artist has seldom been more successful than in this faithful portrait of the well-known and respectable individual whom it represents. The colouring is sober and appropriate. The attitude easy and unaffected. 53 Portrait of 31r.r.Coults. Sir W. BEECH EY, R. A. A well-drawn whole-length of this Lady. The attitude is airy, easy, and striking, and the countenance is vividly ex pressive of the animated affability and active benevolence which are univers - illy attributed to the fair Original. There is a harowny of colouring, with plenitude of effect ; in the whole. The likeness is exact. (To he continued.) THE COEOURG THEATRE.—A new Theatre, tin der this title. situated near the Surrey end of Waterloo M idge, was on Saturday last opened ftir the purpose of displaying the interior, its em bellishments, and accommodations. We are not without hope that this Theatre will tend to an improvement of the Drama as well as to the advan tag,: of Actors, and Authors. Authors will have an opportunity of baying their works, if possessed of merit, brought before the public, and Actors a place of appeal ,from the injustice or ca price of other Managers. Besides, the neigh bourhood may improve in taste, and though last not least the Patrons of the Wa erloo Bridge, one of the most beautiful structures of the kind in the world, may have a due return for their adventur ous and patriotic liberality. An elopement of a most disgraceful nature hai taken place within these few days. The -Lady is the wife of a Dignitary of the Church, and allied to noble and distinguished families She has abandoned her home and a family of seven chil dren, and has gone off with a youth, a young Nobleman, only about 17 or 18 years of age, whom, of course, she must have seduced. It was supposed that the young Noblemen was about to pay his addresses to one of her daughters. We have not learnt that the place of her retreat has been ascertained.—(Observer.) A Gentleman returning from hunting a few days ago between Ongar and Epping, seeing a poor boy gathering sticks in a field, accosted him with " Hallo, Jack, which is the way to Ep ping r' The boy, whose name happened to be John, asked the Gentleman bow he knew his name was Jack ? The Gentleman's reply was, he guessed at it. " Well then," says the boy, " guess your way 4o Epping." POPULAR AMUSEMEETS. FOR. THE SUN. MR; EDITOR,---Not withstanding the modern fashionable clamour against the existence of old Offices, Or the creation of new ones, except such as the clamourers themselves enjoy, or are in ex pectation of possessing, I often see cause to be lieve that some of the ancient Officers of the Ro man Republic might be adopted at the present day wit . ., considerable benefit to society hi all its 'de tails. Of these there is one in particular for which tee have on precise counterpart ; i allorli.a to the office of CEdile, with respect to the public amusements, the public convenience, accommo dation, &c. &c. throughout the various ramifica tions of the great metropoli an estahlistom;ot.-- That such a revival would be`rolvontageous, a Magistrate who shook comb.ne in his own person the offices of Censor mornm. and even ut Arbiter Elegantiarum, one who should fill up that department in public I itv, and in public decorum, lett vacant by our Police Officers, Commissioners of Sewers, Churchwardetri, Paving Committees, Surveyors of the Roads, Licencers of Plays, Lot d Great Chainbetlains, arid even, in some treasure, by our daily and hebdomadal critics, as well as by the Redressers of wrongs and Addiea , sers fur rights in a certain place, is a troth which I hope will not, nay, expect cannot, be controverted To fulfil that great Office, then, I here offer myself a Candidate; staking it known, at the same time, to the Economists, who have so happily found out the way to put the Nation to the expellee of thousands, whilst speechifying fur the saving of .ixpence, as will evidently appear by a careful collating of Motions and Votes for Papers, with the Stationers' and Primers' Bills, that 1, Sir, will accept it without fee or reward In this fulfilment I shall commence, Mr. Edi tor, with the extreme necessity of providing harm less amusements for the great mass of the people, not '' Potion et Circenses," as the Rourin mob has so often called for, but some quiet, yet active ;amusement, or the means of enjoying it at plea sure, which, in occupying their bands, feet, and eyes, should let their brains arid hearts remain quietly at rest. That such a plan will actually be adopted, I cannot flatter myself ; but it is in the power of our MagiStrates to refrain from putting popular amusetnents down, wherever they may exist, until they become actually productive of greater evils than can ensue from their abolition. I will illustrate this, Sir, by a simple fact. Such of your ReaderS as have seen half a century, must recollect the number of skittle-grounds and hutnble bowling-greens in the outskirts of the metropolis, and even within its purlieus, which once existed, tilled in the tine evenings with the lower and even t he more decent classes, sport log for a pot of porter; noisy, ;wired, and somet.mes swear ing, but happy and contented But it seems some morbid feeling of piety and morals has succeeded in putting them down ; and wherefore ? It is true that they were sometimes scenes of vice, and some. times incentives w it ; but dots the resulting good predominate ? What, in fact, have been the consequences ? Why, Sir, I will tell you. Those who sported out of doors for porter. now gamble in doors for money. Those who took exercise its their sports, after passing the day at the anvil, the work-bench, the loom, or the mephitic ware house, now sit for hours in the tainted atmosphere of a tap-room. Those who thought of nothing but tipping all nine, have now got a notion that they have physical force enough to tip every thing ! Those who thought no more of politics than to ask where the French were beaten, or whets there should be a General Election, now sit for hours to hear some fellow nearly as ignorant, but more cunning than themselves, spell over the columns of certain Newspapers, as any one may see notift fled in the windows of every public-hooseln every blind alley of the ;Metropolis, '' An Even ing Paper taker, in here." Hence have we Pa lace-yard and Spa-fields Meetings, and hence are tine lives and properties of the Public put to stake whenever or wherever our Orators choose to as semble a snob. Your's, IGNOTUS MMUS. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR, --Drury-lone Theatre has pre: sewed to the philosophic investigator three of the most curious specimens of terrific moral nature, which experience or imagination could pourf ray, First Richard the Third, then Sir Giles Overreach, and , though last not least, Barabas, the Jew of Malta. Such vieal of human character are not less. appalling-, than full of the profoundest erhi cs ; and, when we contemplate the ambition of Richard the Third, treading on all his kindred to a throne ; the ambition of Sir Giles Overreach, mak'• ing a wreck of honour and honesty, to agran dize his name by an illuvrious marriage ; and Barabas, essaying to make the world .one vast wilderness, let him be but Lord of it dl! we are amazed at the force of one absorbing passion: But when we see it embodied, brought before our eyes in all its unity, its varieties, and overwhelm ing power, by one genius,—by the inimitable conception and enacting of Mr. KEAN 2 —wir admi ration parallels our amazement ; and we cannot butt say, that he who has not seen this astonishing compass of the histrionic art, in these three seve ral characters, has yet to behold the terrible graCes of the Drama, sublimity, horror, and despair the true spirit of SHAKESPEARE, of the British and the Grecian Muse. PHILO-DRAMA. On Saturday a circular letter was sent to be tween two and three hundred persons, in the name of Sir JOHN LAMER, requesting them to attend at the Town Hall in the Borough, between eleven and one, upon business of Fl particular nature. The office was crowded, and the public business considerably interrupted by the persons who had received the letters. Both the " Kentish Men" and the '' Men of Kent," have been highly favoured by Fortune its, the last Lottery. We perceive by BISH'S adver tisements that they obfaned from him no less than six shares of 30,0001. Prizes, two of which went to. Canterbury, one to Maidstone, one to Sandwich, one to Dartford, and one to Tun bridge, besides other shares of smaller Capitals; in short, his Prizes were almost as plentift4 iu that couutry as hops.
